That's ok for me. John W. Linville asked me on IRC about the status of this patch, as he noticed that this patch isn't acked yet. What do you think about my "[PATCH, take 2] libertas: convert RSSI to a direct command" patch? It fixed the obvious point 1). From my point of view, 2) and 3) are "sugar". It could probably be nice to have this, but in my experiments (device sitting on the desk and moving around with several APs) it's not really necessary. So 2) and 3) could maybe applied as separate patches on top of "take 2". If you think that the averaging is absolutely needed for AdHoc, then I'll revive the old convert-rssi patch that didn't kill the averaging. But I think that's not needed. However, because of my patches from today, the "take 2" doesn't apply anymore. But I'll send a "take 3" in a minute :-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
